SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No, 325A15, dated September 1, 1885.

Application filed February 4, 1885.

To aZZ whom it may concern.-

Be itknown that I, J onn KLEE, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in \Vood Primers and Fillers, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved paint composition that serves as a primer and filler for wood used in the manufacture of carriage wheels and bodies; and the invention consists of a paint composition composed of white lead, Venetian red or oxide of iron, rosin, spirits of turpentine, and linseed-oil The painteoinposition is prepared as follows: l oreachtwenty-five pounds of the eon1 wood, consisting of white lead, Venetian red position, sixteen pounds of white lead, two pounds of Venetian red or oxide of iron, two pounds of rosin, two and a half pounds of spirits of turpentine,and two and ahalfpounds of raw linseed-oil are used. The rosin is first dissolvedin the spirits ofturpentine by slightly heating the same, after which the linseed-oil is added, and finally the white lead and Venetian red, until the parts are intimately mixed. Two coats are given to the wood to be painted, the first one acting as the priming, the second as a filling.

(Specimens) elastic filling that enters into the pores of the wood and covers the same by athin and durable layer of paint. YVhe'n thefilling has dried, it is carefully sand papered and the wood coated by the usual number of coats of paints given to wheels andbodies in the manufacture of earriagcs.

I am aware that aconiposition consisting of white lead, turpentine, linseed oil, japan, beeswax, tar, and rosin has been used heretofore, and I hereby disclaim the same.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- Apaint composition for priming and filling or oxide of iron, rosin, spirits of turpentine, and raw linseed-oi], substantially as set forth. In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
